A spokesperson for Preston Guild Hall said: “Due to circumstances beyond our control both Preston Guild Hall and Modus Sports have had to re-schedule the Preston Guild Hall Classic to September 19th 2019.

“Preston Guild Hall will now be in the process of contacting all the current bookings for the event on November 8th to look to either transfer the bookings over or issue refunds accordingly.

“We can assure you that this new and prestigious event for Preston will take place next year and that the same line up as 2018 is guaranteed for September 19th 2019.”
